Hasta La Motion!

I launched a camera-laden balloon before totality passed over Central Oregon. There were three still cameras (one being a Ricoh Theta 360) and a GoPro recording video. This is the edited video, showing launch, the shadow of totality passing, and the last 40 seconds or is the last of the footage before the battery died. The payload actually landed in a 60 foot tall ponderosa near Black Butte, but the Theta and GoPro broke free during impact and landed on the ground. I hired a tree specialist in Bend to retrieve the payload on Wendesday and the other two cameras (two Goodwill-sourced Canon Powershot point and shoots) will be mailed to me this week. Here is the view from the Theta 360 at the highest point it survived to (20,000-25,000 feet): https://theta360.com/s/3kvN6RqjVwbp0DSmuOn9n38vw
